From Facebook: After half of The X-Rated Cowboys left Columbus, Ohio for greener pastures, singer/songwriter Quinn Fallon made a record under the name Los Gravediggers. After hearing that record, Mark Nye (The Shoulder Devils, X-Rated Cowboys) kept bugging the shit out of him until he agreed to put together a band to play that collection of songs. After assembling a one-off ensemble including Matt Mees and Jake Reis to play some new tunes for a WCBE benefit concert, Quinn finally gave in to Mark's incessant pestering, and the live iteration of Los Gravediggers was born.

Anna & the Consequences are jazzy torch blues at its best, cabaret style and Lounge Lizards are always welcome. The trio features smoky songstress Anna Paolucci, plus Dan Sagraves lends his hipster edge and slaphappy fingers to the musical mix on vocals and upright bass, then add Rick Soriano’s varied musical textures on keyboards, and WOW! Sexy, sultry, swingin’ and fun! from: http://annaandtheconsequences.wordpress.com/

David Grier & Adam Schenkler's Family Tree

Songwriters seem to flourish on the fertile Oklahoma plains. Woody Guthrie, Roger Miller, Leon Russell, J.J. Cale and Jimmy Webb. Add Verlon Thompson to that list. Thirty years as a professional songwriter and traveling troubadour serve as credentials. As a solo performer, and as the trusted sidekick of Texas Americana songwriting icon Guy Clark, Verlon has viewed the world from stages everywhere from Barcelona to Binger (his hometown in Oklahoma).
